NoteDyer, Charles Volney, abolitionist, was born June 12, 1808 Clarendon,VT. He removed in 1835 to Chicago, and soon became acting surgeon in Fort Dearborn. He was successful in his practice and business adventures,retiring from the former in 1854, and becoming agent for the underground railroad in Chicago. He died April 24, 1878 in Lake View IL. REF: Encyclopedia of America Biographies p 324. ========================================= For the first fifteen years of the life of Mr. Dyer he lived on his father's's farm in summer and attended the district school in winter. At this age he went to the Castleton (Vermont) Academy, where he fitted himself for a higher course of study. He entered college at Middlebury,from which he graduated with honors in the middle course in 1836. He began the practice of medicine at Newark, New Jersey, where he achieved enough local success to make him ambitious for a broader field in which to try his talents and exercise his industry. Like other aspiring young men of his time he cast longing eyes toward the new West, and finally resolved to take the trip and trust his fortune with the destinies of Chicago, where he arrived in August, 1835. He married Miss Louisa M.Gifford, of Elgin, in 1837. The couple were blessed with six children,three of whom survive. Dr. Dyer upon his arrival was appointed surgeon of old Fort Dearborn, at Chicago, and from that time his practice grew to such an extent that he had money to invest. With the infinite faith in the future that has characterized Chicago, he purchased a large amount of real estate, then outside of the corporation. Among other spots once his property is the lot now occupied by the First National Bank building,which he sold to the government--the old post-office--for $46,000. In1854 he had acquired a competence and retired from the practice of his profession and determined to pass the remainder of his life in the care of his considerable property. Dr. Dyer was a Democrat when he first came to Chicago, and was elected by the Legislature to the office of Judge of the Probate Court of Cook county in 1837. He soon became a leading Abolitionist of the first water, and to say that he was not very radical on all questions relating to human slavery would be putting a low estimate upon the idea of his right of the poor bondsmen in Chicago. Dr.Dyer supported Mr. Birney for President in 1844, when there were but few Liberty party men in Illinois. But they had an underground railroad, and many of the passengers called upon Dr. Dyer and the late James H.Collins, who were understood to be the proprietors, passing through those that were fleeing from their task-masters in the South to the land of freedom in Canada. While these men stopped with the doctor he tried to make them useful by setting them to work, but he said they were more fond of preaching than cutting and splitting wood. The doctor used to carry a large ebony gold-headed cane (now in the collection of the Chicago Historical Society), which was presented to him by his admirers, as it was said, for enlightening the slave-catcher after the manner in which Minerva was freed from the skull of Jupiter. The doctor was very proud of this token, which he regarded as Jacob's staff for freedom. About the time he received this present--1846--a runaway slave was arrested and taken before the late Justice Kersheval, a native of Kentucky, who had issued a warrant for his arrest under the old fugitive slave law. J. H.Collins appeared for the defense, and moved to quash the writ, which was done. While new papers were being prepared for the re-arrest of the slave, Dr. Dyer was left alone with the handcuffed slave for a moment. He struck off the irons and bade the man jump for dear life. In a moment the others returned, and on inquiry for the slave the doctor said, 'He has sunk into the bosom of the community.' This was the kind of timber that such men as Dr. Dyer and J. H. Collins were made of in the anti-slavery agitation in the Northwest from 1840 to 1856. At an anti-slavery convention held in Chicago, it was resolved to start an anti-slavery paper in Washington, D. C. Dr. Dyer was made chairman of the committee,and selected Dr. Baily, a noted abolitionist and writer, as editor, with John G. Whittier and Mr. Phelps as assistants. This was the beginning of the 'National Era.' one of the most noted anti-slavery papers ever published in the United States. In 1863 President Lincoln appointed him judge of a 'mixed court' for the suppression of the African slave trade,an international tribunal, holding its sessions in Sierra Leone, Africa.In consequence of this very appropriate honor he spent two years abroad.When not in Africa, he traveled quietly with his family in Switzerland,Germany and Italy. He chanced to be in Rome when the sad news of the death of Lincoln fell on the world, and he was chosen to make an address in memory of his dear friend. In religious belief the doctor was a follower of Swedenborg, having embraced the tenets of the Scandinavian views of this philosopher in 1854. Soon after this, he and his wife, in connection with the Hon. J. W. Scammon and Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Wheeler,founded the New Jerusalem Society of Chicago. The great fire in 1871 and the panic greatly straightened Dr. Dyer's circumstances, and his early pecuniary means were nearly exhausted at the time of his death. He was avery peculiar man in the fullest sense of that expression. No one who has ever known him well could ever forget him. He loved a joke so well, that if he had had the chance, like Hood, he would have made his pun even to his last breath. It is impossible to do his varied character justice ina brief notice like this. But he will always be remembered in the Northwest as one of those vigorous men who braved the perils of the old patriarchs to build an empire upon a wilderness, and who held the most profound political convictions, not for personal glory, but that he might fulfill the promise of American freedom and raise a fallen race to the plane of humanity.

A distinguished abolitionist, apersonal friend of Abraham Lincoln and Owen Lovejoy, he was one of thefirst to take up arms in defence of his country in the War of theRebellion.' (History of the Kimball Family) =============================================== GEORGE RANDOLPH DYER. The subject of this sketch was born June 3, 1813,at Clarendon, Vermont. As a youth he showed a quick mind and made rapidprogress with his studies, which were completed at the Rutland Academy.Born, one of the many sons of Daniel Dyer, an eminent, amiable andaccomplished gentleman, and who was justly celebrated for hiseccentricities. He came from a family of soldiers, his father havingfought in the Revolutionary War, at the battle of Bennington, under Gen.Stark, while two brothers distinguished themselves in the war of 1812.After the close of the Revolution, his father was commissioned Major ofMassachusetts Page 85 State Militia, by Governor John Hancock, and the commission is now inpossession of his son, George R., he being the youngest son of ninechildren. His early years were spent upon the old homestead in Vermont,where, under the inspiring influence of the rugged scenery, he acquired apractical knowledge that did much for him in after years. Mrs. SusannahOlin, daughter of Hon. Judge Gideon Olin, was his mother. Judge Olin andDr. Stephen Olin, the talented jurist and the worthy divine, belonged,and were in direct line related to the subject of this sketch, as wasalso the famous Judge Harrington, who insisted that the only basis forholding slaves under the Vermont law was a bill of sale from theAlmighty. At the age of twenty-one, single-handed and alone, he drove ahorse to the West and at once entered upon a successful business career.Arriving in the West, in 1835, he explored the shores of Lake Michigan ina birch bark canoe, and at that early day was so favorably impressed withthe future of the then great West, the country surrounding Milwaukee andChicago, that he determined to make it his home. Imbued with theseconvictions, he invested largely in Milwaukee and Chicago, but preferringa pastoral life, he sold out and settled permanently on a farm nearPlainfield, Will county, Illinois, in 1841, after marrying Miss ElizabethHowe Kimball, of Elgin, Illinois. Miss Kimball was the daughter of thefirst settler of Elgin, and that beautiful city occupies the site oftheir old homestead. She was a lady of fine natural endowments, loving,tender, patient, gentle, an exquisite creation of the finest sentiment. Ahelpmeet in every way to a man whose capital was energy and industry. Aportrait of her will be seen in the Olin history. Six children were theresult of this union, four of whom still live: Belle R., now Mrs. Lee,Daniel Burns, Lizzie L., now Mrs. John F. Lyons, and Ida May, now Mrs. A.A. Whiting. Geo. D. died in 1863, and Susie Olin, Mrs. Schermerhorn, diedin 1872. At that date, physically, Mr. Dyer was six feet, two inchestall and well proportioned. His figure was erect, bearing distinguished, Page 86 and a striking figure. His strong characteristics, distinguishedself-reliance, intellectual head, prominent forehead, pleasant eyes withan expression on his countenance beaming with kindness, courtesy andbenevolence, a bright mind and big generous heart marked him at an earlyage as a leader of men. The East was good enough, and he was glad tohave been born there, but in the West he thought the achievements of theEast could not only be duplicated but surpassed. He took active partbefore settling at Plainfield in organizing the territory of Wisconsin.He was a leading citizen, and in 1856 his friends and neighbors made himsheriff of Will county, Illinois, a position he filled most acceptably.He was one of the first and most active members of the Republican party,and although nearly alone, true to his freeborn instincts, he educatedhis neighbors to agree perfectly with Lincoln and Lovejoy, his personalfriends, whom he adored, that slavery must be held in check at allhazards and at all costs, and must eventually be abolished. He kept astation of the underground railroad while fleeing blacks were hurried tosafety. Thoroughly imbued with the spirit of freedom, he has proven nounworthy son of an illustrious father. Indifferent to the opinions ofothers when he satisfied himself that he was right, a lover of nature,and devoted to the works of Robert Burns, his voice was always raised tocombat error and uphold the right. He believed that no wrong like humanslavery could permanently withstand the pressure brought to bear againstit, when that sentiment seemed to derive its source from all humannature, supported by the teachings of God, and no one rejoices more atthe downfall of the sad problem of human iniquity, misery anddegredation. The outbreak of the Rebellion lured him from the pursuitsof peace. He was thoroughly fitted for the responsible appointmenttendered him by President Lincoln. He served his country faithfully andwell through the entire period of the war. His two sons followed him tothe war, and showed the same dash and impetuosity, the sameimpatience--distinguished marks in the character of their father. Page 87 The eldest, Geo. D., was Captain of Company C, 29th Missouri Volunteersat the age of seventeen, and died in the service from disease contractedin the swamps around Vicksburg. The younger, Daniel B., was captured inthe battle of Pilot Knob, Missouri, and was held a prisoner for two weeksby General Sterling Price's army in 1864, before making his escape.After the war, he returned to his beautiful and extensive stock farm inIllinois, where he remained for a few years, when he removed to Jolietand engaged in the hardware business. His belief in the West made himalternately rich and poor. He sold out in 1870, and has since been livingwith his children. Lincoln, Lovejoy and Long John Wentworth were hisintimate friends, and it is said that he has about as many stories totell as were told by Lincoln. His brother, the late Dr. Charles VolneyDyer, of Chicago, had a wide reputation in the same line. The associatesof his boyhood have been dropping out of mortal ken to the silent landduring the past half century, until now there are few left. Now lookinginto his genial face and furrowed brow and mild expression of his eye, itis not difficult to understand the enthusiastic devotion of the men whohave had the pleasure of meeting him and hearing his counsel, orlistening to his inexhaustible stores of anecdotes. In spite of eightyyears since he first saw the light of day in the old Green Mountainhomestead, he retains the mental powers of his middle age. He is probablyacquainted with more people than any man who is not in active publiclife. If he meets a man and speaks with him, he never forgets him or thecircumstances under which they met. He remembers the people he has met indifferent places and can recall incidents that happened to the minutestparticular. In the closing years of his life, and when he finally passesto his long sleep from the scenes and struggles of this life, his namewill long be remembered. In the bustling and pushing young city of KansasCity, he is spending the closing years of his eventful life. He is stillfull of the spirit of adventure that leads men to push on to the newfields and conquer them. (Olin Genealogy, 1893.)
